Taken at the end of January on a lovely walk along the Caldon Canal from Froghall wharf. The Canal was built in 1773 and the unusual shaped bridge was used by miners to cross to the Ironstone mine. The name Cherry Eye apparently comes from the colour around the miners eye that used to cross it.

Something really different for me.. I have seen this type of shot a few times and liked the use of the water.. Now who do I know who is stupid enough to let me pour water over them.. only me it seems :) took a few shots to get it right.

Not had time to get out shooting much and this was taken in the front room while playing with the 50mm 1.7.. She hates sitting still so It was a challenge to keep her in focus.

Happy new year everyone :) :)
